The CD you receive when you buy Photo & Graphic Designer and Designer Pro and (optionally) Xara Web Designer, Xara 3D Maker and Menu Maker contains an unlocked copy of the software, so you can install the full version from CD without needing an unlock code. We recommend you install from your CD, and you will only need the serial number which will be printed on the back of the case or the CD envelope and/or in your purchase confirmation email. If you cannot find the serial number then there will be record of it in your Xara account - sign in on our home page and click on Product Information or, for older products, click the link 'For Xara Modules or older Xara products'.

If you have purchased a download-only product, or you no longer have the CD or are waiting for your CD to arrive, please visit the product installation and account queries troubleshooter for a complete step-by-step guide to downloading and unlocking software that you own.
